Player Discussion Danton Heinen

[AngelDuck]

Another glorified 3rd liner that most feel is better than he actually is because of how untalented this team overall is

 

[Vaakou]

What? He is a third liner.

 

[Kalv]

Yeah ideally he's your energy bottom 6 player that does not make too many bad plays and make smart decisions.

In that role, he played in the finals. Doesn't look like he have progressed

 

[Masch78]

Middle six forward. Solid player but not flashy.

 

[Terry Yake]

he's a bottom 6 player

only reason he's playing with getzlaf is because this team has no legit goalscorers

Curious who you’ve seen that actually thinks he’s anything more than a 3rd liner?

 

[KelVarnsen]

Who is playing on a supposed 1st line.

And that’s not a good thing.

 

[Ducks DVM]

And that’s not a good thing.

That’s hardly his fault though.

 

[KelVarnsen]

Oh I would totally agree. He’s not playing the role he is suited too because of the Misconstruction of the team.

 

[ChuckSurette]

Heinen is a defensively responsible playmaker - not a flashy goal scorer. Understand that and understand him.

He is a jack of all trades. I would play him on power plays

 

[KaseMeOutside]

I wouldn't dislike him as much if he wasn't on Getzlaf's line

 

[The Midnight Burrito]

With less ice time he'd be less annoying anyway. I think he'd probably be better on a much deeper team.

True. He’s a nice 3rd liner.
